'Hollyoaks' searching for new writing talent

Hollyoaks bosses are searching for new recruits to join the soap's creative team.

The Channel 4 show has opened up applications for a number of storyline writers who will join the existing story department.

As the programme is recruiting at different levels, professional experience isn't essential - but applicants must have a passion for storytelling and a thorough knowledge of Hollyoaks.

Part of the application process includes pitching a story for Hollyoaks in no more than 300 words, as well as choosing characters and storylines you have either liked or disliked the most and explaining why.
